Willow Glen shorts: Kids can get campy with theater group

Shady Shakespeare's production of The Taming of the Shrew may be closing this weekend at Bramhall Park, but that doesn't mean the end of summer theater at the park.

Willow Glen Children's Theatre will hold its annual Summer Theatre Camp June 30-July 25 at Bramhall, 1320 Willow St. At the day camp, children can explore their creative side with daily improvisation activities, working toward a final performance in the park's amphitheatre.

The camp, for ages 7 and up, runs Monday-Friday, 10 a.m.-3 p.m. each day except July 4. Cost is $458, or $466 for non-San Jose residents. Register at wgct.org/summercamp.html.

The Santa Clara County Office of Veterans Services has begun issuing ID cards that former military personnel can carry as proof of service instead of military discharge papers. The cards will allow the approximately 85,000 vets living in the county to access services and benefits and receive discounts at local businesses.

To obtain an identification card, vets can make an appointment with the Office of Veterans Services, located at 68 N. Winchester Blvd., Santa Clara, by calling 408.918.4980. They should bring a copy of their DD-214 papers and photo I.D.
